Product care instructions:
- Cleaning after use: remove wood chips and dust to preserve the cutting edge.
- Dry thoroughly: avoid prolonged moisture on metal surfaces to limit corrosion.
- Sharpening: even though these gouges are factory sharpened, they can be sharpened; use water stones or abrasives suitable for the angled profile to maintain a sharp edge without altering the original geometry.
- Handle maintenance: if the handle is made of wood, apply wood oil or wax occasionally to preserve comfort and durability.
- Dry storage: keep the tool in a clean, dry place (possibly in a case or holder) to avoid oxidation and impacts.

The Pfeil Swiss-made Series No. 11 Angled Gouge is a specialized tool for wood carving, perfectly suited to situations where a straight gouge would struggle to maintain its edge due to its straight blade along its entire length. The angled gouge, on the other hand, is ideal for working in tight spaces, cavities, or complex carved reliefs. The angled profile of the blade allows for a precise cutting angle, enabling access to difficult areas.

This series covers a wide range of uses:
- 1 mm to 3 mm for ultra-fine details and delicate adjustments in narrow areas.
- 4 mm to 5 mm for surface transitions or light to moderate removal.
- 7 mm and 10 mm for larger areas, material clearance in hollows or more technical work while retaining the comfort offered by the angled profile.

Made from high-quality steel in Switzerland, these gouges are factory sharpened and offer a high-performance cutting edge right out of the box, ideal for demanding sculptors, cabinetmakers and craftsmen.
